romney is getting a quarter of their votes. santorum and gingrich running dead even that should be the base for one of them. the same exact thing happening among white evangelicals. if newt gingrich loses both these tonight, santorum will have a case to say look, if gingrich stays in, he's an ak agent of the romney campaign because all he's doing now is splitting the conservative vote. so i think the most important thing for the santorum campaign is that gingrich not win either one of these things so he can have a clean shot at romney in illinois. >> richard, what would be the best play for newt gingrich if he did not win either one of these states and possibly finish third in both of them? there is many options left. >> best play is to be the king maker and possibly, possibly just have a shot at being a vp nominee, because in the end, he can actually vouch for some conservative credentials. he can add gravitasse to a rick santorum figure. more likely if there is a slim chance of a convention where mitt romney doesn't quite mak

so here's the bad news for the romney campaign. one poll gives romney a three-point bounce. that's within the margin of error. the gallup poll shows no bounce at all. almost a week of wall to wall coverage and no gains? this was supposed to be romney's big moment. it was his first chance to deliver a live speech to a national audience, but it looks like romney's speech simply failed to convince voters. according to gallup, his speech was average at best. if you count just excellent and good reviews, voters put romney in fifth place among every republican nominee in recent history. romney didn't do as well as george w. bush in 2004. in fact, romney's speech got the lowest poll rating since 1996. bob dole got better reviews than romney did. but there's a poll number that really matters to a lot more americans. and this is it. gallup shows democrats are less enthusiastic about voting this november. here comes the red flag. republicans are gaining. 51% are focused on getting barack obama out of the white house. republicans might be feeling a little romney malaise. they might not
